Abstract (en)

[origin: US2004039702A1] A method of using a kiosk to dispense funds, a portion of which has a value less than the value of the lowest form of currency the kiosk dispenses. The method may include receiving information at the kiosk identifying a source for the funds and transmitting a request to a host computer to verify the source for the funds. The method may include receiving at the kiosk a verification of the funds and displaying on a display screen an amount of funds available for payment. The method may include receiving at the kiosk a request from a user to remit a first portion of the amount of funds in a first form, wherein the first form is selected from a group consisting of paper currency, money order, credit to an account, and credit to a stored value card. The method may include remitting the first portion in the first form and displaying a set of options for receiving a second portion of the amount of funds, wherein the set of options is selected from a group consisting of a money order, a donation, a credit to a stored value card, and a credit to an account. The method may include receiving a request from the user to remit the second portion of the amount of funds in a second form selected from the set of options. The first form and the second form may be different, and the kiosk may be configured to dispense money orders upon receipt of a request from the user to remit the first portion as a money order.
